An early morning shooting in the Buckman neighborhood has left one person injured and closed the area around Southeast 7th Avenue and Stark Street.
The drive-by shooting took place about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, Portland police said.
A male passenger in a car was shot in what appears to be a random attack, according to a statement issued by the bureau.
The man’s injuries are life-threatening, police said. The incident took place after the victim and his friend left a bar in the area of Southeast 7th Avenue and Southeast Stark Street. Few other details were available early Tuesday.
Police said there’s no apparent reason why the victim or the vehicle he was in would be the target of a shooting.
